Biography
Mary Sales was a sixty-five-year-old Illinois Workers Alliance member arrested for distributing Alliance leaflets outside the Chicago stockyards in the week before August 25, 1936. The article says the judge increased bail from $100 to $200 cash or $1,000 property and that the ILD appealed to Chief Justice Sonsteby for a reduction. The stated judicial insult is an attributed report. No exact charge, arrest day, final outcome or physical discharge is supplied. Daily Worker, August 26, 1936, page 2.
